yes I would prefer this change. having daily grades would cause pressure/stress for students for every single lesson throughout the semester. End sem exams would also cause students to be stressed but students would most likely only feel the stress when it is nearer to the exam or during the exam period. Therefore compared to daily grades where students would be pressured/stress to maintain/achieve good grades throughout the semester, End sem exams would only stress/pressure students for a significantly shorter duration.

No I don't want this change because there is higher percentage which is 70% graded on ESE which will lead to high level of stress because if we were to do badly for the exam (considering the questions are hard), it will leave a heavy impact on our GPA.  Only having ESE will not allow us to catch up on our learning gaps because we do not have assessment that test our application of knowledge. When coming to near ESE date, the topics will be very overwhelming since it tests the first lesson till last lesson concepts.

I would prefer to have daily grades and MSE in this scenario instead of only ESE because the grading percentage is reasonably spread out especially having daily grades can allow us to immediately apply the knowledge of the concept onto our daily assignments and check up on our learning gaps regularly. Daily grades also allow us to have the autonomy and flexibility to do our assignment at our own time and convenience. It serves as a driving motivator to work hard every day and submit the required deliverables. On the other hand, daily grades can be very draining because there are times we want sufficient break after school or to cater our time for other commitments but because of the demanding workload from daily grades, we hardly have time for other commitments. For example, I wished I could take part in sports cca in RP but because of the demanding workload and time constraint, I cater almost my entire day to the workload and lessons. Additionally having a very bad day/week can also affect our daily grades as student may not feel motivated and give in their best due to personal reasons.

It would be preferable to have MSE and ESE reasonably spreading out of grading percentage so we have time to catch up on our learning gaps and be prepared for the exams. Due to daily grades, it can be very overwhelming and harder to approach facilitator for help as we are required to immediately apply the concept and therefore graded already.

1. I would have time to review and revise on the topics that I am not too sure about and slowly build my confidence as well as knowledge or application of it through revision

2. I believe that the daily deliverables may be a little too much especially when there are personal issues or emergency ones that students may need to attend.

3. I believe it would be a win win situation since the lecturers need not actually mark us all everyday

4. Personally I enjoy studying at my own accord and time. I do not wish to actually rush my learning of that lesson's topics and do the daily deliverables just for the sake of completing and getting good grades. I believe I don't seem to find it a viable way to inculcate memory and retention of learning in a long run. I am able to visit the topics back, revise and find the link between all and understand the module in the bigger picture

5. I personally felt that my learning was enhanced through GAs therefore I think it will be a good idea; it is an opportunity for us all to apply what we have learnt.

Daily Grades and MSA had deadlines for the submisssions and it allows to be productive towards it. End semesters are killer for me as I tend to not rememebr what have I learnt after a period of time and this takes me lots of time study and take notes all over again. I think most students would agree to this as we prefer working things towards a deadline, and we're done with all the tasks.
Daily grades and MSA are pretty challenging, you need to do really well for your class deliverables, class and participations and the deliverables to be submitted after classes as well. Therefore, the standard set is pretty high.
Final exams really stresses me out. The fact that I need to study everything, but only beind tested for a few questions leaves me panicking.

I feel that our MSAs and our CA Grades especially allow for a more fair and holistic representation of our performance throughout the semester. I feel that by rewarding students with daily grades, it motivates them to strive to achieve the best daily grades they can by putting in the best efforts into every lesson as my GPA depends on it. Furthermore, since our GPAs are calculated by taking the average of our daily grades, students are given the chance to make up for days in which they attained weaker CA Grades to pull up their GPA.

If RP were to do away with these, it would mean that our GPAs would be based on a single ESE. This may not be very representative of our performance and efforts that we have put in throughout the semester.  For example, if the student was having a bad day and performed badly on the ESE which would take up 70% of their overall grade, the student would attain a weak GPA for that semester, which I feel is not very fair.

Hence, I would be against this change.

I want the change but to a certain extend only. I want the mid and end sem but not the daily grade. Daily grade is just too demanding and that having two exams are better than one as if upon does not do well during their exam, there is at least another chance.

I am made to mug.

A 2-3 hour exam to test us on everything we learnt throughout the semester will definitely bring about more stress as there is a lot of content to fit into that short amount of time. Additionally, with a short time limit, the exams will still not be able to cover everything that was taught and questions may not be too in depth which is not a fair way of assessing for applied learning.

However with a daily grade system, the stress is spread out across our different lessons which also allows students to have better control over their grades. Furthermore, the test for applied learning would be more effective as a larger range of concepts can be tested with depth.

As much as I support End Sem examinations, I have to say that daily grades are important.
Daily grades is like having a chip on your shoulder that constantly nags and bothers you.
In a sense, it acts as a driving force for no good students like me to actually participate in lessons.

But I understand that the system is rigged in the sense that it's plagued with bias.
Especially for a more subjective and theoretical field like HR & Psychology where there isn't a definitive right/wrong answer.

Another reason why I'd still support daily grades and mid sem exams is that it discourages rote learning.
I can go on and on about rote learning, but all you have to know is that this form of education produces smart idiots.
Smart idiots tend to be useless in the market, so that's that.

To the people complaining about stress - you're already cramming for GAs, why bother lmao

I think as much as I am reluctant to vote for this because daily grades has been a very hard thing to uphold and maintain throughout the span of 13 weeks, as it requires the students to participate and have the same energy for every lesson in order for them to perform good in class and such.

But daily grade has been also a helpful driving force that aid in our overall grades because even though it is stressful on a daily basis but we have like longer holidays for example there is no ESE during HBL. It is stressful for the 13 weeks but we can get pass that and have more flexible time after. On top of that, we are being evaluated and tested on a smaller breakdown topic as compared to ESE that will test us on the overall module lesson. This will also cause more stress for the students.
But technically everything is just stressful so I just pick the one that is stressful but worth doing so and better than the other option maybe.

Even though the daily grading styems is stressful for us student as we would be evalauted every lesson. However, I feel that by separating the stress level to every lesson compared to having 70% of my final grades based on just my end-semester examiniation would be better. This is because if we do not perform well for one of the lessons we would still be able to pull up and improve on our grades for the next lesson but if we do not do well for the final examinination we are doomed with a bad grade and a bad gpa that would follow us to the next sem.

Although daily grades causes constant stress on students, it allows students to have a better control over their results. For example if we did not do well on a paper that is 70% of our overall grade even if we did well on the project we would still not farewell on our overall grade. However, if we did not do well on one day of our daily grade we can do better on the following days to compensate for it.

# data[].attributes.body
Although daily grades puts a lot of stress on students, I feel that this is also the drive for myself to do well in every lesson in school to get the best grade I could

If there were to only be ESE, there could be many procrastination and slacking at the beginning of the semester with panic and anxiousness towards the end of the semester because we will be mugging and rushing our studies just for the ESE.

(I would be okay with the change if there's no daily grade but there's MSE - reason being that there is still a mid-point check to at least stabilize the concepts we learnt in the first half and then the combination of everything during ESE, similar to secondary school where there was Mid-Year Examinations and End-of-Year examinations.)

no, i don’t want this change.
Even though daily grades places a certain amount of stress on students, personally, i feel that this process will help students to be more disciplined and also ensure that they have something that drives and motivate them. Having the daily grade system, also allows students to have an opportunity to boost their overall GPA, as the overall GPA is accumulated over the 13 lessons. For example, if i received a poor grade during the first few lessons, i will not have to fret as the remaining lessons can help improve and boost my overall grade for that module. While on the other hand, if i did badly for ESE, it will pretty much be a gone case for both my gpa & i~ As if the ESE weightage is 70%, it plays a very vital role when calculating my GPA, and for example, i could have studied very hard for the exam, but maybe i was nervous and messed it up, it still affects my GPA to a large extent and there aren’t many opportunities for me to improve it.

There is preparation time which definitely helps to improve your overall grades, provided you put in that effort and time.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite how often I complain about how much this daily grade system is stressing me out, but to me it actually acts as a force to push me to putting in my best effort every single lesson because I want to get a good daily grade. Furthermore, with the changes to the grading system due to HBL, I would say that I am currently depending on my daily grade to keep my cGPA afloat.

If there are no daily grades and MSE, the weightage on our ESE would definitely be much higher and this is actually quite risky because if we fail our ESE, it basically means that we can bid goodbye to our GPA and I'm sure there will be even more students protesting to the changes.

So even though daily grades and MSE can seem like a pain in the neck at times, it is no doubt that it helps to push and motivate us into putting in our best effort each day, from class participation to RJ as everyone would want to obtain good daily grades.

By having an end-semester examination that contributes 70% to our overall grade, it creates too much pressure on the students. If we were to fail the exam, it will mean that we will fail the entire module. Additionally, by removing the daily grades, it is difficult to evaluate our progress in learning. The grades and feedback given will tell us the areas that needs improvement, and whether we understand the topic taught for the lesson. Without the daily grades, we are unaware if we do understand the topic, or otherwise. As such, we would not have the opportunity to review the concepts and clarify our doubts. This can cause trouble when we have to apply it in the examination.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't enjoy examinations because of the stress I feel that comes with every paper. I put a lot of pressure on myself during examination periods causing me to be unable to cope with my work. When I need to work under pressure, my performance is not as great as compared to daily grades and mid-sem exams. I prefer daily grades and mid-sem exams because the stress is laid out into bite size challenges that makes the stress more tolerable. It helps me to focus on one thing at a time.

# data[].attributes.body
Imagine if failing the ese (which is 70% of our grades), the chances of re-module is high. Also, the ese would be harder to score since it is 70% of our final grade.

I would still prefer having MSA and daily grades. As the chances of re-module is lower.

# data[].attributes.body
Having daily grades and mid-sem exams places too much constant stress on students. Students are under a lot of pressure every lesson  to get good daily grades, and hence their focus is only on grades and rather the process of learning.

Additionally, daily grades have a chance of being subjected to biasness on the part of the lecturer. There is a segmentation of grading for certain modules (such as B102), but not for other modules. Even though it may be structured in future, biasness can still come into play to a certain extent, such as when evaluating class participation.

Last point, is that end -exams can provide for more evaluate assessments as a whole for students. An end-sem exam will assess students' understanding of the module as a whole, rather than averaging out the module grade based on different daily grades.

The only negative effect of having only end-sem exams I can see is that students may face stress at the last minute when studying for exams. This can be avoided totally, if students put in the effort to work hard and revise on a regular basis before the exam.
